Romeo & Juliet

The most remarkable love story of all time doesn’t need much introduction. The tragic tale of star-crossed lovers and their feuding families is universally recognizable. The story of Romeo and Juliet is familiar to all those who have ever experienced young romance and its endless possibilities. Their story ends in tragedy, but the love, hope, and exquisite moments they share before their doomed fate both transcend and highlight that tragedy.

Romeo and Juliet is a story of passionate love that is violent, ecstatic, and knows no moderation. It is a document of an intense love that cares not for loyalties nor the emotions of others but only its own intensity. The play also serves as a warning of how the hate and prejudices of others will seek to destroy and nullify such a love. Shakespeare's enduring and tragic tale of teenage romance thwarted by the designs of others is timeless. Yet its message that the power of love can defy authority, family and obligation, violence, and even death remains both complex and inspirational. Although it may be set in a time and place that appears alien to the modern reader, its themes are infinite and cut straight to the heart of the human condition.
